how not to do it!!!

"it"

 "is"!!!

I did it!

it's bad

:{

for a first it isn't as bad as it could be

but it's still not good

alas

I said I would show it

and

I am
showing it

I can see all the puckers and bumps and lumps
and a very obvious badly done join or carry

it isn't

blocked

and I'm not 100% sure how to do that

but I'll look it up and see if that helps

I haven't got a clue what to do with it

if anything

I think this is one of those things that you have to learn

as a child

at the knee of a professional
.

teacher
.

grandmother
.

mother
.

aunt
.

or a really nice neighbour
....

I did learn a couple of things

how to carry the yarn across the row

how to use the bobbins

how to swear

and have a hissy fit every 10 mins or so

as you look back over the row you just did and discover two mistakes

or threeeeeee

learning to take your time

it isn't a contest

well it is

against yourself

and it isn't a big deal

coz it's a practice piece

(I am very hard on myself and always think I should get it the first time
and having looked at the example in the book
I'm actually not that far off)

!!

and when the hubs keeps asking

what's it going to be

:P

learn to smile sweetly

and

not answer!!!!!

Now an explanation of what happened to this page yesterday

I decided it was time to change the

header photo

as you all know I am wont to do

I loaded a new one

and it came out tiny

I then went into the

templates

and discovered that

Blogger

has given us new fonts

and

as I am wont to do

I started playing

and got totally lost in all the

newness

I never go to the help page or the blogger updates

so I had no idea there was a problem reported with the

header uploads

so I had to leave it as it was

I have now changed it back

and the header is working once again

so

thank you

blogger

I'll check in with you once in a while

but I may go back and change the

posting font again

I like the one

that looks like I

wrote it by hand

well

after I figure out how to block the block

see ya

:)
